In Detective Pikachu, Justice's character turns to the pint-sized yellow investigator for help when his father is mysteriously kidnapped. Supernatural's Kathryn Newton was also recently cast in the film as a sassy journalist who joins the cause.

The movie is being adapted from the popular Nintendo game Great Detective Pikachu, which is itself a spin-off of the beloved Pokémon gaming and media series.

Goosebumps and Monsters vs. Aliens director Rob Letterman is bringing Detective Pikachu to life from a script by the upcoming animated Spider-Man film's Alex Hirsch and Guardians of the Galaxy co-writer Nicole Perlman.
